Peterson Shannon 106 Smooth Billiard Estate Briar Pipe, Irish Estates

Description

Peterson pipes generally need no introduction, but just in case you’re unfamiliar: in 1876, a Latvian named Charles Peterson immigrated to Ireland and was hired making pipes in a workshop owned by Frederick and George Kapp. After rising through the ranks to become head craftsman, Peterson bought into the Kapp’s business, which was renamed, Kapp & Peterson (K&P). During this time, Peterson himself applied for several patents for pipe designs, including the world-famous Peterson’s System. Since then, Peterson has become one of the most recognizable names in pipe smoking and continues to produce high quality pipes from their headquarters in Dublin.

Described by Peterson as one of their most “reserved” lines, the Shannon features pipes with a simple, brown-sugar finish and jet-black stem. This one is rendered in Peterson’s classic shape 106, a muscular take on the traditional, tried and true billiard.

The condition is fair. Some minor charring and darkening on the rim, and some finish fading.
